INTRODUCTORY. 


The  following  exercises  are  intended  to  be  used 
in  a  practical  application  of  the  several  rules  of 
Eclectic  Shorthand  and  are  arranged  in  the  same 
order  in  which  these  rules  are  given  in  the  text-book. 
A  large  number  of  short  sentences  embracing  various 
words  illustrating  the  application  of  each  rule  are 
given.  Throughout  the  book  the  words  are  spelled 
as  they  are  to  be  written,  and  in  Part  I  they  are 
also  so  hyphenated  as  to  indicate  what  letters  of  a 
word  are  to  be  represented  by  each  written  Shorthand 
character;  e.  g.  the  word  deafen  is  spelled  de-fn,  indicat- 
ing that  de  is  to  be  written  by  one  character,  viz:  d  on 
e  position  to  express  de,  and/n  also  by  one  character; 
viz:  /  lengthened  to  express  fn.  Thus  the  student 
has  the  greatest  possible  simplification  of  the  work 
before  him. 

Having  thoroughly  studied  a  rule  of  the  text-book, 
and  practiced  its  lists  of  illustrative  words,  the  student 
may  very  profitably  practice  the  sentences  herein 
given  in  illustration  of  the  same  rule. 

The  object  of  the  book  is  two-fold:  first,  to  aid 
in  acquiring  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  art  of  Ec- 
lectic Shorthand,  by  supplying,  for  careful  practice, 


Vlll  INTRODUCTORY. 

copious  sentences  illustrative  of  the  various  rules; 
and,  second,  to  furnish  exercises  to  be  used  as  a 
speed  drill  in  securing  rapidity  in  writing.  To  ac- 
complish these  results  the  sentences  should  be  re- 
peatedly and  rapidly  written.  They  are  generally 
short  and  the  pupil  will  easily  retain  them  in  mind, 
whether  practicing  alone  or  from  dictation  in  classes. 

The  necessity  of  presenting  in  each  sentence  as 
many  illustrative  words  as  possible,  is  such,  that  in 
Part  I  no  attempt  is  made  at  literary  character  or 
merit.  In  Part  II  the  sentences  each  comprise 
merely  an  illustrative  word  or  two,  and  are  mostly 
gems  of  thought.  Part  III  comprises  a  few  pages 
of  choice  literature,  divided  into  sections  of  one 
hundred  words  each,  to  facilitate  the  speed  drill 
exercise. 

The  students'  work  should  be  carefully  criticised 
and  corrected,  not  only  by  himself  with  the  aid  of 
the  Text-book,  but  also  by  some  competent  teacher 
or  advanced  student  of  the  system. 

A  thorough  use  of  this  book,  either  in  classes  or 
in  private  study,  will  prove  a  great  aid  to  the  student, 
and  will  be  found  to  greatly  accelerate  his  thorough 
and  rapid  acquisition  of  the  art.
